Holiday

5 Night Western Caribbean (Mobile Roundtrip)

Sail date: March 03, 2007

Ship: Holiday

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Ship was older and smaller - so expectations shouldn't meet those of a larger boat. There were still plenty of activities that would accomodate any person. Service, especially in the dining hall, was unacceptable. It seemed as if they were short staffed. Not as friendly as usually experienced with Carnival Cruise Lines.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

If you are there for some cocktails...try Banditos. A lot of good music...and laughs.
Don't Miss: Banditos

Cozumel, Mexico

Carlos & Charlies is a definite must. Paradise Beach was very nice as well - $13 cab ride to the beach...and no charge for beach entrance or use of beach chairs. Pretty water and water activities for adults and kids...most of which are free of charge.

Pros: The cabins on the boat were very nice. These were larger rooms than most cruise liners.

Cons: The service. Overall service from Carnival Staff was marginal, at best.

Recommends Holiday? No.
